I enjoyed the HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MARRIAGE SEMINAR
so much! There was so much love present in the room. It created a safe
environment to take stock of ourselves and our marriages. Cindy

Jim and I had been very active in our local
church and made the mistake of putting all our extra energy, time and
resources into "the church." Due to some bizarre events we were suddenly
pushed out of church leadership, shunned and even ostracized by the
members. We were confused, deeply hurt and bitter.
Now Jim spent more time at work. When he
was home he yelled, snapped and snarled at me. Totally bewildered, I began
to withdraw from him. Where could I turn for hope and encouragement.
Certainly not to my church!
I began going through a daily routine in
a dumb trance, doing things because they were my duty. I kept on but life
had lost its joy. Week after week I p lodded, feeling no warth or desisre
for anything! I even lost my appetite.
One moreing I wakened feeling horribly
drained. There was no reason for me to continue in a marriage like this. I
contemplated divorce. I mulled this over and over for several months. One
night Jim and I had a major argument. That did it! I began planning where
the kids and I would live and how I could support myself.
Three days after this decision my girl
friend called to tell me about the HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MARRIAGE SEMINAR coming
to our town. I saw this as a ray of hope and sped to the little church (not
ours) and signed up and paid in advance. Then I told Jim, expecting the
worst. But he agreed to go.
We went and are we ever grateful we
did. It was wowrth far more than what we paid to attend. It was fun,
stimulating and we learned so much. But most important, it SAVED OUR
MARRIAGE!
Our marriage still isn't perfect, but at
least we are better equipped to deal with and cope with the strains as they
come. We have learned to be more affectionate, caring and secure in our
affections. Jim is being more romantic with me. I love that! I learned to
be more appreciative of him. Our marriage is growing stronger every day.
Words just can't convey our true
feelings, but we owe you a great big THANK YOU. May our Heavenly Father
continue to bless you as you reach out to those in
need. Name withheld

My husband and I participated in your HIGHLY
EFFECTIVE MARRIAGE SEMINAR in _________________. The seminar was fun as
well as informative and we are still putting into practice the things we
have learned. We fall back into old habits, but then re-examine our worn
tires and take another run at it!
We learned so much and my totally
phlegmatic husband has even become a real talker. Being aware that I
already have some insights into his particular temperament, he has opened up
so much to me. He retired at age 45 from a 25 year job, taken another one
which requires him to meet the public and he is doing well. We have
nick-named each other "Flimsy Phlegmatic" and "Belly Aching Melancholy" (Me)
-- with humor, of course. I have made some important changes too.
Thanks for encouraging us along the
way! Ralph & Pearl

What can a half-burned copy of HIGHLY
EFFECTIVE MARRIAGE do to save a marriage? "My husband and I had a strained
marriage because he betrayed me many years ago. We stayed together, but
this "ghost" from the past haunted me and caused me to keep throwing his
"sin" back at him. I guess I never experienced true forgiveness. After
attending the HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MARRIAGE SEMINAR I became so angry with my
husband I took his copy of the book and threw it into the fire. As I
watched it burn, I realized that my marriage was going up in smoke too.
Some of the things I learned from class flashed into my memory. Quickly I
snatched the half-burned book out of the fire. As a result of this
experience we were able to sit down and talk this "ghost of the past"
through. At long last I was able to forgive him!"

The HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MARRIAGE CDs are
excellent and have helped us more than the marriage counselor we were paying
$100 an hour for! Joe and Linda

You probably receive letters of
appreciation all the time. Here is another one to say "thank you" for the
benefit I derived from your HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MARRIAGE SEMINAR this week.
My need was so great that I simply
inhaled every word and programmed it into my little three pound computer (my
brain) so will that I can just punch out any portion of what I heard and
read anytime when needed. Not only do I appreciate the manner and style in
which your presentations were made, but I really appreciate the research
that I know was necessary for you to put this seminar together. With due
respect to the ministers in the church, I can't help but wonder how many
families are put back on a stable course as a result of your seminars
compared with sermons. Your ministry, to say the least, is a much-needed
ministry and a divinely blessed one.
You. as "repairers of the breach" have
made it possible for my husband and me to do just that. Somehow we have
survived a devastating, senseless divorce and realized what a gem we have in
each other through the communication techniques you taught us. You should
feel complimented when you learn that my husband has a PhD in mass
communications and was a college professor for many years. He, especially
appreciated your material, your method of teaching, and learned quite a
number of new and better ways of communicating on an interpersonal level.
There hasn't been one DRA (Dirty Rotten
Attitudes) between us for the past 10 days and I doubt there ever will be
again.
So please keep doing what you are doing
and help others like you have helped us. Thank you God it wasn't too late
for us! A Florida wife

Your HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MARRIAGE SEMINAR was
extremely helpful to my wife and me at a most delicate stage of our
reconciliation efforts. We have grown closer together as a result of the
seminar. It is almost anti-climactic to say that your seminar has an
excellent selection of topics plus skillful presentation and most important,
an intelligent communicator! A grateful husband
